Rick Anderson is the PGA Master Professional at the Atlanta Athletic Club and has been at AAC since 1988 (was also an assistant pro at AAC in 1981-1984). Anderson earned the title of Master Professional in the early 1990’s and is one of about 400 in the United States. The culture of the Atlanta Athletic Club has changed in large part due to the fact that the area has grown so much around Johns Creek and Duluth. The size of the PGA Championship grew dramatically between 1981 and 2001 and despite knowing that they would host the 2011 event for 10 years, they had no idea that the event would be as big as it is.
